Time Out says

Once a mellow backstreet local, the George now swarms with rowdy, slumming-it art students in ridiculous outfits on Fridays and Saturdays, to the point where the landlord has even hired a bouncer.

As the pub’s popularity has risen, so have the prices; you can drink for less in Mayfair. Still, catch it on a quieter night, and this remains a great pub, a mixed coterie of longtime Dalstonians and recent arrivals shooting the breeze over pints (Pride, Seafarer, George Gale HSB) and a jukebox-led soundtrack of classic cuts and hipster-friendly obscurities.

The raffish decor (yellowing walls, stuffed animals) will be familiar to anyone who’s drunk at Stoke Newington’s Shakespeare or the Royal Inn on the Park in Victoria Park, two of the dozen-ish pubs under the same umbrella, but the George retains its own identity to the last.

We are close neighbours to this pub and occasionally pop in for a drink. We went there on this Sunday just past (15/09/13) and couldn't believe how badly we were treated! There was no queue at the bar and yet 3 members of staff managed to completely ignore us for 4 minutes, in spite of us being right in front of them. The two female staff were too busy having their own conversation to stop to serve us and the male member of staff just blatantly didn't seem to want to serve us. Will not be going back and will not recommend to anyone.

Started coming here at the start of the 90's and still coming back 20 years later with very little changed. Superb well thought out music on jukebox, which is free (not sure if all the time)
I have been drinking in London for so long now and this is still my favourite pub!!
O to afford one of the lovely houses in the street its in!

i like this pub, gets a bit too crowded at weekends but that's a good sign.
ales are occasionaly hit and miss
(and in reference to the other review here) there is one barman who is notorious amongst my local freinds as being grumpy and rude but the rest fo the staff are perfectly lovely so we just put up with him and slag him off behind his back

I'm afraid that I just went to this pub and have to write a review somewhere as I have never been treated so badly in my life! I have never experienced rudeness quite like it. If that's how they want to speak to people and treat people then good luck to them. I sure won't be going back.
